Good Leather Conditioner?

What do y'all use for conditioning your seats? I have the black leather in my FX4 and it is getting some wear around where I get in and out of the truck. I just wanna keep up with it and make this leather last as long as they can. My rear seats look brand new, and the passenger is pretty good too.

I have the Adam's Leather Conditioner right now, I like it a lot but doesn't last but a few days or so and seems dry within a week or so....Maybe I'm being picky but I want them to look good and last

Thanks Guys!

LEATHER SEATS (IF EQUIPPED)
Your leather seating surfaces have a clear, protective coating over the
leather.
• To clean, use a soft cloth with Motorcraft Deluxe Leather and Vinyl Cleaner (ZC-11–A). Dry the area with a soft cloth.
• To help maintain its resiliency and color, use the Motorcraft Deluxe Leather Care Kit (ZC-11–D), available from your authorized dealer.
Do not use household cleaning products, alcohol solutions, solvents or cleaners intended for rubber, vinyl and plastics, or oil/petroleum-based leather conditioners. These products may cause premature wearing of the clear, protective coating.
Note: In some instances, color or dye transfer can occur when wet clothing comes in contact with leather upholstery. If this occurs, the leather should be cleaned immediately to avoid permanent staining.

Well I guess I messed that up, but honestly I don't think I could have hurt it by not using "motorcraft" conditioner. That sounds like a marketing thing to me.

I can't find that stuff online anywhere anyways

Anybody else?

I use meguiar's on my 10 lariat and found that it works really well on black leather.

I use Zaino "Leather In A Bottle." It makes the interior smell just like leather should!

I have used Connolly Hyde Cream for 30 years in desert & snow climates. It comes from England, costs about $15 a jar and is sold under various names including Harley Davidson, RollsRoyce & Ferarri Leather conditioner.
